Hey Greybeard yep, I'm running a thread over on TONMO as well. They were very useful in helping identify his species. I wouldn't have had a clue without their input.

I have no doubt you have the ability to keep a ceph, be it a cuttlefish or an octopus now if you don't have the extra time or resources to do it, that's a different story. But I'm sure you have the ability.
Yes, Tonmo is an excellent resource for ceph keepers. If I hadn't seen you there, I would have recommended it I've been a member for decades... though I've never done more than thought about keeping a ceph. Was convinced I was going to set up a tall, narrow column for Nautilus many years ago... the Tonmo folks talked me out of it.
I'm pretty sure I could keep an octo, or more likely, a pack of dwarf cuttlefish... and may, one day. I was breeding Seahorses nearly two decades ago now, with good success... I seriously doubt cuttlefish could be more difficult
The biggest problem is this: I have 1 (one) aquarium... and don't really want to maintain more than one. So... if I do cuttles, I'd have to forego the community reef. I thought about it (again) when I set this tank up. Honestly, it'd be nearly ideal for a pack of S. Bandensis cuttles... fat, wide, and shallow. If I manage to crash my reef, I may still go that way
